Luxury handbag designer Jessica Jensen brings a diffusion line of handbags to The Shopping Channel on May 1st

After collaborations with Canadian designers and fashion talent including Lucian Matis and Flare magazine’s Liz Cabral, Toronto-based luxury handbag designer Jessica Jensen is next on the list, creating a line for The Shopping Channel that goes live on May 1st, with a televised appearance by label representative Nadine Parsons the following two days.

With Italian leather, French linen lining and gold hardware, the diffusion line, called Jessica Jensen Signature, is luxe for a little less, with prices ranging from $75 to $395. “We tried not to diffuse the line so that you wouldn’t recognize it as a Jessica Jensen bag,” the designer, who struck the deal with the shopping stalwart last October, told us recently at her studio on Queen West. The 14-piece collection, a range of satchels, makeup cases, wallets, envelope clutches and more, comes in five lust-worthy colours from cobalt to coral pink and flame red.

We were immediately smitten with the Kayley Convertible ($295) clutch in purple, but kept drooling for the white patent, which would pair perfectly with any evening look while still carrying around most of our essentials. Looks like we might have to make our first TSC purchase on May 2nd.
